The Direktiv Digest

90% of global organizations are expected to prioritize investments in their digital tools this year. So does it really surprise you that experts anticipate 4.6 trillion USD to go towards IT operation budgets in 2023? 

GitOps, GitOps, everywhere you turn... But what is it, and how can your DevOps team learn… to benefit from it? 🤔

Simply put, GitOps helps you accelerate your software delivery pipeline, reduce errors, and promote a culture of shared responsibility within your DevOps team. 

In today’s competitive business world, keeping up with changing demands is like a sprint that never ends. With that in mind, let’s pit two hypothetical companies against one another and see how it plays out. 👇

According to a 2022 Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey, nearly 84% of respondents adhered to GitOps principles at some level—and for good reason. 

GitOps has ushered in a paradigm shift for DevOps teams by breaking down silos in collaboration and allowing for more transparency between development and systems administration processes through a centralized platform known as Git.  

Adopting GitOps as a core methodology of your DevOps team (as you may already know) can drastically improve efficiencies and save a lot of headaches, but not without observability. ✋

Here’s a truth bomb for you: 99% of new software projects rely on open source components in some capacity. 

Not only that, but 78% of companies prefer open source software over proprietary platforms. This is causing a bit of a stir in the way old-school IT departments used to roll. 😏

As you gear up for continued digital transformation heading into 2024, you should have a good grasp of the shifts happening within the cloud native landscape. 

According to Gartner, a whopping 95% of upcoming digital workloads will be deployed on cloud native platforms by 2025. Can you believe that back in 2021, it was just a mere 30%? Talk about a shift in cloud native momentum. 😎

Serverless computing and DevOps have been industry buzzwords for the last few years. But they’re much more than just buzzwords. The numbers clearly don’t lie…

It’s no secret that information technology (IT) helps form the backbone of every successful organization. 🤫 Which makes it no surprise that worldwide IT spending is projected to reach $4.6 Trillion (with a capital T) in 2023. 

IT downtime can have harsh consequences when it comes to customer inconvenience and lost revenue. But unfortunately, it happens from time to time. Just this year, Southwest Airlines had to ground about 1,800 flights. The cause? It was largely attributed to “outdated technology and dated infrastructure.” 

Recent data revealed that more than 50% of cloud-based organizations have embraced serverless technology. This number is on the rise with a projected 25% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. 📈
